A French multicenter randomized and double blinded shamed controlled study recruiting patients who present resistant PTSD. The aim of this trial is to assess the efficacy of cerebral modulation by rTMS with simultaneous reactivation of traumatic memory on the PTSD symptoms at M1.
In the human genome, about 750 genes contain one intron excised by the minor spliceosome. These genes are named U12 genes, and these introns, minor or U12 introns. The minor spliceosome comprises its own set of snRNAs, among which U4atac. Its non-coding gene, RNU4ATAC, has been found mutated in Taybi-Linder (TALS), Roifman (RFMN) and Lowry-Wood syndromes (LWS). These rare developmental disorders associate ante- and post-natal growth retardation, microcephaly, skeletal dysplasia, intellectual disability, retinal dystrophy and immunodeficiency. Their physiopathological mechanisms remain unsolved: the number of U12 genes involved, their identity and function, or the cellular mechanisms impacted by the splicing defect, are still unknown. The hypothesis of the study is that U12 genes coding for primary cilia components are particularly sensitive to minor splicing defects caused by RNU4ATAC mutations. Indeed, a child showing signs of TALS but negative for RNU4ATAC was found to carry a homozygous variant in the RTTN gene, coding for the rotatin protein located at the centrosome and the base of the primary cilia and playing a role in maintaining these structures. In addition, bi-allelic RNU4ATAC mutations were identified in five patients presenting with traits suggestive of the Joubert syndrome (JBTS), a well-characterized ciliopathy. These patients also present with traits typical of TALS/RFMN/LWS. To better understand the causes of these pathologies, a cohort of patients with syndromes associated with bi-allele mutations of the RNU4ATAC or RTTN gene will be gathered, in order to conduct studies on the cells of these patients. Blood samples will be taken, as well as skin biopsies, if possible. These samples will be used to create induced pluripotent stem cell lines. Blood samples will also be collected from the parents of RNU4ATAC patients, to eliminate in transcriptomic analyses expression variations due to differences in genetic background. Biopsies of skin, muscle and brain tissue will be collected on foetuses carrying two-allele RNU4ATAC or RTTN mutations whose parents have had a miscarriage or have chosen to have a medical abortion. The biological samples collected will be used to study the transcription level of U12 genes, the splicing of their pre-messenger RNA, their main cellular functions, and the structural characteristics of tissues and cells.
Improving personalized cancer treatments and finding the best strategies to treat each patient relies on using new diagnostic technologies. Currently, for non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the methods used to decide who gets additional post radical (surgery or definite chemo-radiotherapy) treatment are suboptimal. Some patients get too much treatment, while others do not get enough. There is a new way to explore if there is any cancer left in a patient's body using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detected in blood samples. This can help decide who needs more treatment. Even though many tests have been developed, it has yet to be determined which test performs best at relevant time points. The GUIDE.MRD consortium is a group of experts, including scientists, technology, and pharmaceutical companies. The consortium is working on creating a reliable standard for the ctDNA tests, validating their clinical utility, and collecting data to help decide on the best treatment for each patient. GUIDE.MRD-03-NSCLC is a part of the GUIDE.MRD project.
Lithium (Li+) is prescribed to 1‰ of the French population (~ 60,000 patients). More than half of patients describe subjective symptoms linked to Li+ (SSL) similar to those of chronic fatigue syndrome: muscle weakness, fatigability, cognitive disorders, emotional blunting. SSL are the 2nd cause of stopping Li+ (28%), just behind kidney problems (30%). In animals, the administration of lithium (Li+) increases the urinary excretion of phosphate (Pi) by 6, inducing phosphate diabetes (DPi). However, idiopathic forms of DPi explain up to 10-15% of chronic fatigue syndromes and these disappear when supplementing with Pi (± vitamin D). In humans, the introduction of Li+ leads to a reduction in serum phosphate but we have not found any publication on the possible induction of DPi or on a possible link between DPi and SSL. However, the dosages necessary to detect a DPi are carried out during the annual follow-up assessment of patients on Li+. All you have to do is calculate the standardized maximum reabsorption rate of Pi (TmPi) to make the diagnosis! Finally, if the patients presenting with DPi turn out to be the same as those who complain of SSL, we can imagine that correcting the first by simple supplementation with Pi (± vitamin D) could provide relief.
This is a randomized, parallel group, double-blind Phase 2 study that consists of 2 parts. In Part A the safety of the highest dose-level of frexalimab in adults (age range 18-35 y.o.) will be established. In Part B, a dose-finding study (adolescents and young adults, 12-21 y.o.) evaluating the safety and efficacy of 3 age-adjusted dose-levels of frexalimab in comparison with placebo in participants with newly diagnosed T1D on insulin treatment. The purpose of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of different dose-levels of frexalimab, by assessment of preservation of endogenous insulin secretion in participants with newly diagnosed T1D aged 12 to 21 years compared with placebo on top of standard insulin therapy, and to determine the dose-response relationship and minimal efficacious dose in Part B. Study details include: - Screening period: at least 3 weeks and up to 5 weeks (Up to 11 days may be required to get investigational medicinal product [IMP] on site. Enrollment date of the participant must take into consideration this constraint.) - Double-blind treatment period (104 weeks): -- Main treatment period: 52 weeks -- Blinded extension: 52 weeks - Safety follow-up: 26 weeks (not applicable for participants entering the open-label study) The treatment duration will be up to 104 weeks, the total study duration will be up to 135 weeks.
The recent modifications of the French bioethics law, the therapeutic progress and the massive development of advanced genetic techniques (such Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)) with a rapid decrease in costs imply to question the extension of Newborn Screening (NBS) to new actionable pathologies and the acceptable and relevant methods for its possible expansion. International studies are beginning to determine the potential place of NGS in NBS. In this perspective, the SeDeN project aims to fully assess the social acceptability of these issues by measuring the diversity and consistency of expectations of French health professionals, parents and public policy makers. The SeDeN-p3 Study focuses on the opinions of parents. It aims to analyze the perception of parents in different situations: birth, early childhood, child screened in the framework of the national neonatal screening program, etc. The objective of this part is to study the understanding and expectations of parents in France regarding the extension of newborn screening as well as their preferences regarding its conditions (information, types of pathologies, screening methods, etc.).
Tools such as surgical plethysmographic index, state entropy, train-of-four monitors exist to optimize the conduct of general anesthesia in intermediate and major risk surgery as defined by the 2022 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines on cardiovascular assessment and management of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Although these monitors are available on anesthesia machines they are still under-used by teams due to lack of training, practice and a real understanding of their usefulness (operation, expected benefits). When used in conjunction with General Electric's AoA Carestation Insight software, these tools could have a real impact on morbidity and mortality at 28 days post-op. The aim of this prospective monocentric interventional "before/after" study is to assess the impact of training and encouraging teams to use these tools.
